Mike Greeley ended 20 years of coaching at Homedale High School last week.

Greeley retired after two seasons as the Trojans’ girls basketball coach by tendering his letter of resignation to the school board in a special meeting Wednesday.

“He’s a good man,” Homedale athletic director David Hart said. “We’re really going to miss him

as part of the coaching staff.”Hart said the search for a replacement already

has begun.Junior varsity girls basketball coach Jamie

Freelove also resigned Wednesday, Hart said.Greeley said that a number of factors drove

him to the decision, including the death of his father, Andrew “Bud” Greeley, in February and

his increased duties on the family’s cattle ranch on Succor Creek in Rockville, Ore.

The ranch has been in the family for three generations, spanning a century, and Greeley commutes nearly 50 miles each morning to teach his shop classes at Homedale.

AD Hart, Martinat honored by peers

Ex-Trojans coaches also

receive awardsThe high school coaches in Dis-

trict III have honored three men connected to the Homedale High School athletic program.

Second-year athletic director David Hart was present-ed with the 3A District III AD of the year award during a din-ner ear l ier this month.

Tony Mar-tinat, a long-time aide to Trojans wres-tling coach Toby John-s o n , w a s named the 3A District III as-sistant wres-tling coach of the year.

Both men were honored at an April 18 ceremony at the Caldwell Elks Lodge.

Johnson said that Hart’s philos-ophy is for Homedale coaches to support their colleagues by show-ing up for their games.

“There are changes he’s trying to make to improve not only the athletic program, but the climate in the school,” Johnson said.

Former Trojans football coach Stan Hoaglun was honored with the Charlie Alvaro Award. Hoa-glun coached three seasons in Homedale, compiling a 24-8 re-cord that included an unbeaten 2A state championship season

Late rally moves Melba past MarsingMelba High School scored two

runs in the top of the sixth inning Thursday to squeeze out an 8-6 2A Western Idaho Conference baseball victory over Marsing.

Nic Marmon went the distance for the Huskies on the mound. The left-hander struck out four and walked four.

The Huskies built a 4-0 lead in their first two at-bats, but Melba struck back for three runs in the third inning. Both teams combined

to commit 10 errors, including six by the Mustangs.

Melba tied the game, 4-4, with a run in the fourth inning, but Marsing fired back with a pair of

runs in the bottom of the frame.Sean Finley and Martin Galvez

collected doubles for the Huskies. Galvez’s double was a rocket into right field in the bottom of the seventh inning, but Melba’s Chris Thiel was able to get out of the inning and pick up the victory in relief of Doug Beus.

Junior catcher TJ Cleburne crushed a triple and later scored for the Mustangs, and he also ended a Marsing rally when he

tagged freshman base runner Ethan Salove on the foot as he tried to dive toward home plate and score with two outs.

Ricky Miller knocked in a pair of runs for the Huskies, and seven different players hit safely for Marsing. Galvez was 2-for-2.

The Melba softball team beat Marsing in a game shortened by the 10-run rule. No additional information on the game was supplied.

Raiders take control in 1A WIC softballThe softball team from Rimrock

High School shook off early defensive lapses Thursday to win its third 1A Western Idaho Conference game of the week.

The Raiders scored five runs in the second inning and never looked back in a 16-3 rout of Wilder. The game was played in Greenleaf.

Sadie Timmons scored on a passed ball to snap a 3-3 tie in the top of the second inning. Laura Zaragoza and Timmons had back-to-back one-out singles to keep the rally going.

The victory, which came in five innings because of the 10-run rule, capped an important week of winning for Rimrock (6-2 overall,

4-0 1A WIC at week’s end).Coach Mike Chandler’s squad

opened the week April 17 by beating Council and the weather to sweep a doubleheader. The Raiders edged the Lumberjacks 3-2 in the first game and defeated Council 11-7 in the finale.

“These were big conference wins for us,” Chandler said.

Rimrock finished the week atop the 1A WIC standings with an unbeaten record, and pitcher Shelby Chandler is a big reason for that.

Freshman Ryan Garrett fired a career-best 40 and finished three shots off the lead April 16 as the Homedale High School golf team found itself in an unfamiliar po-sition.

For the first time in the past three tournaments, the Trojans weren’t atop the leaderboard as Fruitland cleared the field by eight shots to win a 3A Snake River Val-ley conference nine-hole tourna-ment at Scotch Pines Golf Course in Payette.

Scotch Pines is the Grizzlies’ home course, and it showed as Ty Pena, Peter Foss and Nick Dhae-nens all broke 40. Pena and Foss

fired 38s, fin-ish ing one shot behind medalist Co-lin Hershey from Payette. Hershey card-ed a 1-over-par 37 on the course that his team also calls home.

Fruitland came into the club-house with a team score of 157, eight shots better than Payette and 10 strokes ahead of third-place Homedale.

The Trojans’ 167 was highlight-ed by all four qualifying rounds at 45 or better. Junior Jordan Pe-gram and senior Trevor Krzesnik backed up Garrett with a pair of 41s. Grant Sweet (45) and Ryan Ryska (46) battled putter prob-

lems all afternoon, according to their coach, Dave Thompson.

Only the top four scores from each school are counted toward the team score.

While the Homedale varsity found itself in uncharted waters, the Trojans’ junior varsity kept chugging along.

Reece Landa won medalist honors with a 40 as Homedale routed the field with a 176. Pay-ette was second at 200.

Aaron Wheeler (43) finished second to Landa in the medalist race, while two other teammates (Dustin Regis, 46, and Jonathan Verwer, 47) broke 50. Dylan Kushlan carded a 56.

The Trojans travel to the moun-tains and MeadowCreek Golf Course on Friday for a 3A SRV tournament hosted by McCall-Donnelly.

Rimrock High School touched Marsing pitcher Taylor Nielsen for three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning Friday to pull out an 8-7 non-conference victory in Bruneau.

Nate Hofer smacked a two-run double to end the game. Nielsen had struck out six and walked only one before Hofer’s heroics.

“It was just one of those games that was always in reach, and we just kind of hung around and came up with a couple breaks in the sev-enth for the win,” Rim-rock coach Bob Murray said.

Hofer fin-ished wi th three RBIs, while team-mates Devin Meyers (the winning pitcher) and Jose Araujo each knocked in two runs.

The Huskies bolted out to a 5-0 lead in their first two at-bats. Marsing battered Rimrock start-ing pitcher Alan Draper for four runs in the top of the first inning.

Ethan Salove doubled and drove in a pair of runs for the Hus-kies, who battled back to take a 7-5 lead with two runs in the top of the sixth.

Ricardo Araujo was 3-for-4 for the Raiders, while Sean Fin-ley led the Huskies with a 3-for-4 outing.

Melba 13, Rimrock 4Chris Thiel ripped a grand slam

in the top of the third inning as the Mustangs snapped a 2-2 deadlock to power past the Raiders in a non-conference game played April 17 in Bruneau.

“It was a good game going into the third inning until they hit a grand slam that put them up 7-2,” Rimrock coach Bob Murray said. “We just left too many base runners on.”

Rimrock collected eight hits against two Melba pitchers. Fresh-man Ricardo Araujo went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored. Junior Alan Draper was 2-for- with an RBI.

The Raiders tied the game 2-2 in the bottom of the second in-ning, but managed only single runs in the fourth and seventh in-nings the rest of the way.

Logan Thomas, losing pitcher Devin Meyers and catcher Ryan Hipwell — all juniors — also col-lected hits for the Raiders.

Meyers struck out four and walked four while surrender-ing seven hits in three innings of work.

He was relieved by Draper and then Thomas, both of whom pitched two innings each.

One of the few Melba varsity players making the trip to Rim-rock, Thiel went 2-for-3 and drove in five RBIs. Mustangs junior var-sity player Josh Silver was 4-for-4 with two RBIs and three runs scored.

New cheer advisor steps up for Trojans

A f o r m e r h i g h s c h o o l cheerleader and mascot will take over the Homedale High School cheerleading program soon.

Homedale businesswoman Karolyn Munster was approved as the newest advisor for the Trojans cheerleaders during an special meeting of the Homedale School District board of t rustees Wednesday.

“I’ll do the best I can and see how far I can take this,” M u n s t e r said. “I want to build the program and make it worth attending.”

Munster, who with her husband, Michael, owns Munster’s Ink in Homedale, replaces Kelly DeWitt as advisor.

Homedale athletic director David Hart said DeWitt stepped down to concentrate on her duties as a counselor at the school.

Karolyn Munster lettered in cheerleading as a sophomore at

Vallivue High School. She said she also was the team’s Freddie Falcon mascot and played in the band.

She says she has big plans for the Trojans cheerleading program.

“The first step is to get a hold of all the cheerleaders and do some major recruitment and see where the skill level is,” Munster said. “I’m going to do a lot of research over the summer and go to some camps.”

Munster said she’d like to introduce more acrobatic routines into the cheerleading program. She also is seeking donations of cheerleading equipment and clothing to bolster the program’s resources and to “get as many girls involved at a lower cost.”

Munster said she planned to attend tonight’s coaches open house, which starts at 7 at the high school.

A n y o n e s e e k i n g m o r e information or with donation ideas can call Munster at 337-4029.

Homedale High School just missed a top-three sweep of the jumps during a championship per-formance at a tri-meet held April 17 in Fruitland.

Competing against host Fruit-land and McCall-Donnelly, the Trojans’ boys team piled up 101½ points to streak away from the second-place Vandals.

The Tro-jans finished a distant sec-ond to Mc-Call-Donnel-ly in the girls meet.

Bolstered by a sweep in the high jump (Aus-tin Emry, 6 feet, 2 inches; Austin Fer-guson, 5-10; Matt Hollo-way, 5-8) and the long jump (Mark Vance, 19-6½; David Liddell, 19-5; Emry, 19-3½), the Trojans cruised to the boys team championship. McCall scored 75 points.

Emry, Ferguson and Holloway were the only athletes to suc-cessfully clear the bar in the high jump finals.

A sophomore, Emry won the triple jump by nearly a foot over Fruitland’s Paul Christensen. The Grizzlies’ senior was the only non-Trojans athlete to get a top-

three finish in the jumps. Vance soared 39-9 for third place.

L i d d e l l p l a y e d a part in three event victo-ries, too. The senior swept the sprints, winning the 100 meters in 11.26 seconds and beating fellow senior H o l l o w a y with a 23.19 in the 200.

L i d d e l l also ran the second leg fo r Home-dale’s victorious 4x100 relay team, which smoked the field with a 46.07.

Freshman Trent Acree led off the relay effort, which beat a team from McCall by more than a minute. A junior, Vance ran the third leg and Holloway anchored the team.

Senior Chris Anders won the 300 intermediate hurdles in a time of 43.76, distancing himself from second-place Todd Fereday of McCall-Donnelly by more than a second. Homedale ninth-grader Aaron Proferes was third in 50.75.

Fereday won the 110 high hur-dles in 16.91, while Anders was second and Proferes third.

Another freshman, Jake Tolm-ie, was runner-up in the 800 with a time of 2:19.61.

Junior Jaime Uriarte, who is splitting time this spring between

track and field and tennis, was third in the shot put after uncork-ing an effort of 36-1. He was sixth in the discus (105-6).

Freshman wins girls shotNickole D’Alessio, a ninth-

grader, out-threw Fruitland se-nior Kirsten Strough to win the discus on the Grizzlies’ home turf. D’Alessio had a winning toss of 80-6.

Another Homedale freshman, Vanessa Sanchez, finished fourth in the discus and sixth in the shot.

The victory by D’Alessio, who also finished third in the shot put with a 27-10½, was one of three for the Trojans, who scored 38 points. McCall won the meet with 78 points.

Junior Taryn Corta, another two-sport athlete in the spring, collected a pair of victories. She beat sophomore teammate An-namaria Salas in the long jump. Corta’s winning mark was 14-6, while Salas hit 13-11.

Salas was runner-up to Corta again in the triple jump. Corta’s winning distance was 30-4, while Salas came in at 29-11. Sopho-more Hannah Johnson, who also is Corta’s teammate on the Tro-jans’ softball team, was fifth in the triple jump.

Corta finished second in the 100 in 13.96.

Senior Sarah Black won the pole vault in 7-6.

Freshman Katie Holloway cleared 4-4 in the high jump for second place behind McCall senior Carlie McPheters (4-6). Holloway also was second in the 100 hurdles and third in the 300 hurdles.

Homedale was runner-up in the 4x100 relay.

Missed opportunities left the door open Friday, and the Weiser High School baseball team walked through to a 3A Snake River Valley conference victory over Homedale.

Weiser’s Levi Bowers singled off Darren Burdine and scored on Gavin Eisenbarth’s base hit against reliever Ryan Johnson with no outs in the seventh as the host Wolver-ines posted a 5-4 win.

“We out-hit them,” Homedale coach Tim Fulwood said. “The thing is we couldn’t score when we had runners on base.”

Fulwood said the Trojans (4-9 overall, 1-4 3A SRV before Monday’s game against Payette) stranded 13 base runners.

Homedale took a 2-0 lead in the third inning when Brandt Graber and Claudio Garcia came home on

Ryan Davis’ two-run sin-gle with the bases loaded. Graber had s tar ted the rally with a one-out sin-gle, and Gar-cia doubled behind him.

W e i s e r starter Eisenbarth hit Josh Jol-ley with a pitch to load the bases ahead of Davis. Jolley was thrown out at the plate to end the inning one batter later.

Eric Wilbur, who like Burdine is a co-op player from Notus, got Homedale started in the fourth inning with a lead-off single. He scored on Jared Brockett’s base hit. Brockett was stranded at

third.Homedale

tied the game, 4-4, in the top of the seventh when Davis led off with a single and later scored.

“Every in-ning, we had runne r s i n scoring position,” Fulwood said.

Burdine was saddled with the loss despite scattering seven hits and striking out six in six-plus in-nings. Homedale banged out 12 hits, including a 3-for-4 afternoon from Graber and two hits apiece from Wilbur and Davis.

Chris Rhew’s two-run home run off Burdine in the bottom of the sixth briefly put Weiser (8-12, 3-3) ahead, 4-3.

“Darren pitched a nice, solid game again,” Fulwood said.

The Marsing track and field team also lost a date when the Parma Invitational was cancelled Wednesday. Huskies AD and track and field coach Don Heller said the huge meet won’t be

rescheduled.There were some games

postponed by the elements that will be made up in the coming week.

Marsing’s baseball and softball teams will play a doubleheader in Parma on May 3 to make up the lost conference game. The first game in both twin bills will begin at 3:30 p.m.

The Huskies’ junior varsity baseball team will play host to Parma for a 3 :30 p .m. doubleheader on May 3.

Homedale’s tennis team had its 3A Snake River Valley conference match against Fruitland rained out on April 17.

The Trojans will travel to Fruitland for a makeup day at 4 p.m. on May 7.

The Wolverines won three of four team titles during a 3A Snake River Valley conference meet. Homedale was second in both seventh-grade meets and the eighth-grade girls meet.

Two relay teams picked up victories, and Emilio Cuellar was a three-time individual winner to drive Homedale to a win in the eighth-grade boys meet. The Trojans collected 58.5 points for the title.

Weiser beat Homedale by 24 points in the seventh-grade girls meet, by 37 points in the seventh-grade boys meet and by only nine points in the eighth-grade girls meet.

In the Homedale eighth-grade boys victory, Cuellar paced the field in the 1,600 meters at 5 minutes, 24.05 seconds. He also won the 400 in 59.23 and the 200 in 26.62.

Manuel Castillejas won the long jump with an effort of 15 feet, 3½ inches. Cuellar was second at 14-0.

The Trojans’ relay squads won

the 4x200 (1:51.59) and the 4x100 (53.40) and finished second in the 4x400 (4:24.33).

The Homedale seventh-grade boys meet was highlighted by three wins from Trey Corta. He captured the 100 (13.09), the long jump (15-0) and the 200 (27.25). He also had a 5-0 effort in the high jump, the best showing from a Trojans seventh-grader Thursday.

Austin Trevino was runner-up in the 400 at 1:11.81, and two Homedale relay teams (4x200, 2:12.43; and 4x400, 5:20.07) finished second.

Laurien Mavey was a three-time individual winner during the seventh-grade girls meet.

She captured the 100 in 14.8, the long jump at 12-8 and the 200 in 30.68.

The Trojans also won the 4x200 relay in 2:14.9 and finished second in both the 4x100 (1:02.37) and the sprint medley (2:41.37).

“For the first time in a long time, the alarm won’t go off at 4:30 a.m. to start my practice day,” Greeley said.

In his letter to the trustees, Greeley said he came to the decision to end his tenure after meeting with prospective athletes for the 2007-08 season.

“After last week’s meeting with the potential varsity players, although I believe I am a good coach with good values and experience, I don’t believe I am the one to be their coach,” Greeley wrote in his resignation letter, dated April 17.

“The girls conveyed a lack of belief that I could lead them where they needed to be to be successful.”

Under Greeley’s guidance the Trojans amassed a 19-29 record since the 2005-06 season. Despite winning just eight games last season, Homedale fell one game short of playing for a spot in the 3A Real Dairy Shootout. Weiser ended Homedale’s season on Feb. 8 with a 44-36 victory in the 3A District III second-place game.

“I know the girls can make it all the way to State with hard work and dedication,” Greeley said.

Greeley became the varsity

head coach after Mark Weekes’ resignation. Greeley had served as freshman girls basketball coach previously, so he had a connection with many of the players.

The coach built connections with many athletes in the two decades in which he coached at the school. Greeley’s coaching career at Homedale began in 1987 when he arrived from Horseshoe Bend.

He coached the freshman teams for the boys and girls basketball programs in those early years before taking over the JV girls team. During his years with the developmental teams, he coached

under the likes of Dan Tristan and Kevin Murphy and helped as both men led the girls basketball team to second-place finishes in the 2A state tournament.

“I have felt privileged and honored to have made an impact on so many girls’ lives,” Greeley said. “Most of that time was spent as No. 1 motivator and lesson-in-life teacher.

“I had a lot of kids that were of average talent, but had a lot of heart.”

Having moved up through the ranks, Greeley also expressed gratitude for the work of his assistant coaches, JV coach Jamie

Freelove and freshman coach Loma Bittick.

“I want to thank them for their help and dedication the last two years,” Greeley said of his assistants. “I felt we had the best coaches possible for the girls and the basketball program.”

The coach also thanked the community and the scores of players who competed for him.

“Thanks to the community, parents and girls for the words of encouragement and the great memories the last 20 years,” he said.

√ Greeley: Homedale career began with freshman basketball in 1987

in 1997 and a runner-up finish at State in 1998. Homedale won the 2A Western Idaho Conference both years.

Alvaro, who died in 1986, was a longtime coach at Caldwell High School who was an All-Ameri-can football player at the College of Idaho.

“I think it’s great to have such great people who are working, and have worked, with our kids in our community,” Johnson said of the awards handed out to Hart, Mar-tinat and Hoaglun.

“Obviously, they are well-re-spected and appreciated by their peers.”

Martinat, who placed sixth in the 1982 state tournament for Homedale, is the father of senior Bryan Martinat. He has served an assistant for Johnson since 2000.

Hart is nearing the end of his second year as AD for the Tro-jans. He also served as defensive coordinator under Homedale foot-ball coach Thomas Thomas for the past two seasons.

“It felt good,” Hart said of re-ceiving the award. “It was nice, especially being a newcomer to Idaho. It was a really classy thing.”

Hart came to Homedale after more than two decades at Fernley High School in Nevada.

“People in Homedale have a good passion for athletics, and the kids have good morals,” Hart said. “You spend a lot of hours being an AD, and it makes you feel good for a few minutes when you’re recognized.”

Former Homedale athletic di-rector Randy Potter, who now serves in the same capacity at Columbia High in Nampa, was named the 4A District III AD of the year.

first by walking no one, scattering seven hits and striking out two in five innings.

Wilder scored three times in its first at-bat behind three consecutive singles and two errors. Chandler allowed four hits the rest of the way, and three of those came in the fifth inning.

Meanwhile, the Raiders’ defense tightened, erasing each of the base runners and allowing Chandler to face the minimum of 12 batters over the final four innings.

A base runner was eliminated by a double play in the third inning as Rimrock shortstop Jackie Thurman clutched a pop fly then flipped to Timmons for the force at second.

Thurman played a part in wiping out all three base runners in the fifth inning. She put the tag down for the final out when Kaile Murray threw out a would-be base stealer. Thurman and Timmons teamed up to force the other two base runners in the inning at second base.

Murray was 3-for-4 with a two-run single in the fifth inning.

The Raiders broke the game open with seven runs in the fourth inning.

BreAnne Merrick collected an RBI and scored one of her three runs in the uprising. Chandler also drove in a run when she was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

Rimrock sweeps CouncilThurman’s single in the seventh

inning chased home Timmons and allowed the Raiders to pull out an exciting 3-2 victory in the first game of a doubleheader played in Bruneau.

“Timely hitting in the bottom of the seventh pulled out the victory in the first game,” Rimrock coach Mike Chandler said.

Zaragoza singled and scored the tying run earlier in the inning.

Shelby Chandler and her Council pitching counterpart, Jennifer Starley, were locked in a duel until the Lumberjacks broke through with two runs in the

bottom of the sixth inning.Council turned a hit batter and a

walk into the game’s first runs as Hali Trainor came up with a clutch two-out, two-run single.

While the Lumberjacks had plenty of base runners in the game’s first five innings, Rimrock struggled to find the formula against Starley. The Council pitcher scattered four hits through the first five innings, and the only Rimrock base runner to get past second base was Merrick, who was stranded at third base in the third inning after a one-out single and two stolen bases.

The Raiders finally solved Starley in the sixth inning. Shelby Chandler was plunked with a

pitch and scored on Brittany Boman’s one-out double. Boman went 2-for-3 and was one of three Rimrock players to collected two hits against Starley. Chandler was 2-for-2, and Zaragoza went 2-for-3.

Chandler fanned Mary Lakey for the last of her eight strikeouts to end the game.

In the second game, Rimrock poured it on early and held on late for an 11-7 win in a contest halted after five innings because of windy and rainy conditions. Chandler got the win, dodging seven walks and spinning a six-hitter.

“Shelby did a great job with the bad weather with her pitching,”

Mike Chandler said. “We are starting to hit the ball well.”

Shelby Chandler helped her own cause from the plate with a 3-for-3 game that included an RBI and runs in the first two innings.

Murray was 2-for-3 with three runs scored. She doubled home a run in the second inning and singled and scored during the Raiders’ five-run first.

Zaragoza also went 2-for-3 with two runs and an RBI. She doubled and scored a run in the third inning.

Rimrock jumped out to a 7-0 lead before Council got on the board with three runs in the top of the third.

Sierra Aberasturi pulled out huge offense last week to lead the Homedale High School softball team to a pair of lopsided victories.

Aberasturi doubled and tripled Friday to send the Trojans to an 18-2 3A Snake River Valley conference win over host Weiser. It was the first conference win of the season for Homedale (6-8 overall, 1-4 3A SRV

through Monday).Hannah Johnson was 3-for-5 with a triple

and three RBIs, and Kortnee Krzesnik also knocked in three runs and scored three times with a 2-for-5 day at the plate.

Brittany Ambeau collected three hits as Homedale battered Wolverines pitching for 14 hits.

On April 16, Aberasturi was 3-for-4

and drove in three runs in Homedale’s 20-0 non-conference rout of Nampa Christian.

Nampa Christian’s visit to Owyhee County was a short one. Homedale’s 15-run second inning played a huge role in ending the game after four innings because of the mercy rule.

Krzesnik collected five RBI, Corey Hall

and Jessica Eubanks teamed up to hold Nampa Christian to a pair of singles.

Homedale scored all 20 of its runs in its first three at-bats as Erika Shanley went 3-for-4, and Hall and Johnson were 2-for-3.

Shanley and Hall notched two RBIs each to help Krzesnik fuel a potent offense that rapped out 16 hits.

Trojans softball cruises to pair of easy wins

Mitch Quintana’s two-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning propelled Homedale High School to a come-from-behind junior varsity baseball victory over visiting Weiser on Friday.

Alfredo Machuca and Jose Gonzalez scored on Quintana’s base hit with the bases loaded, and the Trojans squeezed past the Wolverines, 6-4, in a 3A Snake River Valley conference game.

Catcher Tyler Ford scored on a passed ball later in the inning for Homedale’s final run.

Jason Rangel pitched a complete game to get the win for Homedale (6-6 overall through Sunday).

Three-run sixth pushes JVs to win

Homedale High School will have three new head coaches for fall sports, so tonight’s open house will come in handy for athletes’ parents.

Athletic director David Hart announced that coaches from the Trojans’ fall sports teams will be available at 7 p.m. today at the tail-end of parent/teacher conferences.

“It’s a good chance for parents to come down and meet those people who are going to be a part of their kids’ lives for the next year,” Hart said.

The parent/teacher conferences run from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the school.

“Coaches from each sport will have a meeting to go over summer

plans, the practice starting dates for the fall, expectations and policies,” Hart said.

New cheerleader advisor Karolyn Munster also plans to attend the meeting.

For more information on the meetings, call the high school at 337-4613.

Three of the Trojans’ five sports teams will have new coaches: Rob Kassebaum will take over the football program, David Hann will coach volleyball and Kirt Stragey is the new girls soccer coach.

Nick Schamber returns for his third year as cross country coach, and David Correa will be back for a fifth season leading the boys soccer squad.

base runner dives back to the bag.

The Homedale High School tennis team tried to keep pace with red-hot Parma last week by edging Payette on Thursday.

Senior Joshua Myers raced past Mark Soleberg in the No. 1 boys singles match, 6-0, 6-0, as the Trojans beat the host Pirates, 7-5.

Parma still leads the way in the 3A Snake River Valley conference standings after blasting Weiser 11-1 on Thursday. The Panthers also beat Homedale by an 11-1 count on April 12, although Myers beat his chief conference rival, Bryant Timmons, to remain unbeaten in conference play.

Thursday against Payette, the Trojans’ Shanae Galloway beat Katie Franklin for second time this season, notching a 6-0, 6-3 victory in the No. 1 girls singles slot.

Also getting victories in the

pivotal girls singles ladder were Emily Verwer (7-5, 6-0 over Payette No. 2 E s t a c i a G o n z a l e z ) and sen ior Bonnie Price (6-2, 6-0 over Payette No. 3 Mandy Reed).

Homedale captured every No. 1 match in each division except mixed doubles, where Scott Thatcher and Tori Reed fell to Payette’s Pedro Nunez and Cassie Gross, 6-3, 6-1.

In the boys No. 1 doubles match, Andrew Bingham and Caleb Johnson breezed through the first set for a 6-1, 6-4 defeat of Marcus Heleker and Mike Rich.

Va n e s s a Brown and Chanda Cox made easy w o r k o f their No. 1 girls doubles m a t c h , b e a t i n g P a y e t t e ’ s Brenda Ho and Nicole Mills, 6-0, 6-0.

At No. 2 girls doubles, Alejandra Ramos and Kayla Bertagnolli beat Payette’s Katie Heleker and Jeni Bennett, 6-2, 6-3.

Only one match went to three sets as Pirates Eddie Serpa and Josh Grigg rallied from a first-set loss in a tiebreaker against Gage Egurrola and Shravan Shriganesh to post a 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-2 victory.

by Kat Sillonis, AHSIt was another tough weekend

for the Adrian High School softball team as the Antelopes dropped four games and saw their league record dip to 0-12.

On Friday, Adrian traveled to Wallowa, losing 9-8 and 14-13.

In the first game, Adrian mounted a furious comeback in the sixth inning but came up short. The Antelopes ripped four consecutive hits and scored five runs in the sixth and then tacked on another score in the seventh.

Adrian trailed 4-0 before notching its first run in the fourth.

Senior Amanda Simpson pitched a complete game, striking out three and walking four. She also went 2-for-4 in the game, while junior Jessica Orosco was 2-for-4 with an RBI.

In Game 2, the bats were flying early on, as the Antelopes went up 9-5 after the second inning. But Adrian couldn’t keep the momentum going for the entire game, coming up one run short.

Sophomore Terra Rust led the offense, going 7-for-8 in the doubleheader with a double, two triples, six runs scored and six RBI.

The Antelopes had 21 hits on

the day, but also tallied 10 errors in the losses.

Saturday, Adrian couldn’t catch a break, losing to visiting Enterprise/Joseph 19-5 and 19-1.

In Game 1, the Cubs came out swinging, going up 9-1 after two innings. Giving up 19 hits and committing five errors in the game, Adrian didn’t have a chance.

Simpson walked six and failed to get a strikeout in a complete-game performance.

For Enterprise, Theresa Stangel and Summer DeSpain combined for one strikeout and seven walks.

Rust went 3-for-4 in the game with a double, while Orosco went 2-for-4 and knocked in two runs.

In the nightcap, a pair of controversial calls at third base and some untimely errors kept Adrian out of the game. The Antelopes managed two hits, both coming from senior Ryann Bowns.

While Adrian tallied only one run, Enterprise put up runs in every inning.

The Antelopes travel to Pine Eagle on Friday, and plays host to Wallowa on Saturday. Both dates are league doubleheaders.

Looking back...from the files of The Owyhee Avalanche and Owyhee Chronicle

50 years ago25 years ago 140 years ago

April 21, 1982

Double-murder suspect arrested in NevadaThe 15-month search for Claude Lafayette Dallas, Jr. ended

Sunday evening about 50 miles from the scene of an alleged double murder of two Idaho Fish and Game officers.

Dallas was captured after he fled as officers approached a trailer he was staying in. He was reportedly shot and wounded during the pursuit by the lawmen.

Among those taking part in the arrest were Owyhee County Sheriff Tim Nettleton, county deputy Gary Olsen, Homedale police chief Allen Bidwell, and State Patrolman Rich Wills. These men were involved in the initial search for Dallas in January, 1981.

They were accompanied by FBI agents, officers for the Idaho Bureau of Investigation, and Nevada officials.

Dallas was to be arraigned in Reno yesterday.Dallas, 31, vanished from his camp by the South Fork

of the Owyhee River along the Idaho-Nevada border Jan. 5, 1981, after Fish and Game Department conservation officers Wilson Conley Elms and William Pogue were shot to death.

Pogue and Elms, veteran game wardens, had gone to Dallas’ camp to investigate complaints of bobcat and deer poaching.

Jim Stevens, an acquaintance of Dallas’, had brought supplies to Dallas’ camp and is the only known witness to the slayings.

Stevens said Pogue and Elms were gunned down by Dallas with a .357-caliber Magnum and then executed with a .22-caliber rifle shot behind the ears.

Elms’ body was found in the Owyhee River two days later about a quarter-mile downstream from Dallas’ camp. Pogue’s body is till missing.

Stevens told authorities that Dallas packed Pogue’s body into Paradise Junction. He said, the body was transferred into the vehicle of another acquaintance, George Neilsen, Paradise Hill. Dallas drove off in Neilsen’s vehicle and returned several hours later without the body. Neilsen said he and Dallas then left in Neilsen’s vehicle, but Dallas later got out near the Bloody Mountain range.

Dallas was last seen by Stevens armed and wearing a backpack, walking into the Nevada desert toward the Bloody Mountains.

The killings touched off a massive, two-week manhunt by county, state and federal authorities, along with relatives and friends of the slain officers.

Merchants planning sidewalk sale for JuneA City-wide Sidewalk Sale is being organized by the

Retail Committee of the Homedale Chamber of Commerce for early June, according to Mauren Cegnar, chairman.

Local merchants will meet next Tuesday to formulate plans for the promotion, and all Homedale retailers are urged to attend. The meeting will be at the Owyhee Lanes at 7 a.m.

Yesterday a group of the merchants met to decide a direction for the event, and it was decided to promote the sidewalk sale and provide entertainment, such as rides, for children.

Cegnar emphasized the importance of all merchants participating. “We need the cooperation of every business,” she said.

Subdivisions annexed; tobacco law passedTwo subdivisions were announced and a tobacco

use ordinance was passed last Wednesday night by the Homedale City Council.

The first phase of Big Sky Subdivision, which consists of 25 lots, and the Vance addition were annexed into the city limits by the passage of ordinance numbers 229 and 230.

A city ordinance, to be labeled as ordinance number 231, also passed unanimously Monday night. The new law forbids the use, possession, consumption, etc. of tobacco and tobacco products by persons under the age of 18. The new law coincides with similar ordinances passed recently in other cities in the valley.

250 attend Easter egg hunt in city park SaturdayApproximately 250 children under 14 years of age

participated in the annual Easter egg hunt at the city park Saturday afternoon in an exited scramble to find the 60 dozen colored eggs which had been hidden earlier. Many of the hidden eggs were marked for prizes of 5 cents to $1 and were turned in to Chairman Al Soper for collection of the amount which was indicated on the egg.

The egg hunt was sponsored jointly by the chamber of commerce and the Jaycees. Assisting Chairman Soper at the park were Gordon Cahill, Tom Cariell and John Fisher. Home Economic girls of the high school had previously boiled, colored and marked the eggs.

YANKEE DOODLE AN OLD SPANISH TUNE. There have been a great many asserted origins of Yankee Doodle. The following is the last, related in a letter from Spain by William C. Bryant, the poet.

Some time since, when Mr. Perry, Secretary of the American Legation at Madrid, was in one of the Basque provinces, he heard a band playing their old national airs. The Basques have preserved whatever is peculiar to them, their language, their customs, and many of their political rights, from the earliest period in which they are known to history; their national music is claimed to be of the same antiquity. After the band had played several other airs it struck up Yankee Doodle, the very tune, in every note, which is so familiar to American ears. Mr. Perry immediately claimed it as our national air. “It is one of our old tunes,” said a gentleman to whom he spoke, “and I can convince you of the fact. For hundreds of years it has been popular among us.” The gentleman afterwards made good his assertion by showing Mr. Perry a manuscript of great antiquity which contained the identical notes of Yankee Doodle.

MAJOR J. H. WALKER AND DR. TOMPKINS (army physician), arrived in Silver, on their way to Ft. Boise, on Saturday evening, and remained here until Monday. During their stay we were favored with a visit from them and obtained some information of general interest concerning the situation and operation of the command under Gen. Crook.

The General has his present headquarters just to the east of Warner Lake, and it is his purpose to continue in that vicinity as being right in the heart of an Indian country with more than the common accommodations found in sagebrush localities. He has not gone to Boise – as reported – nor has he any such intentions. If he visits that superfluous Post, some unforeseen necessity compels the trip. By a most severe and active winter campaign, the General has obtained a knowledge of the country in which the Indian has his haunts, and finds his present position a valuable base. About forty miles to the southwest is Goose Lake; sixty to the northeast is Harney lake, and the Malheur Lake lies only a few miles further in the same direction; and about sixty miles east is Stein’s Mountain, a favorite resort of the savages. In a direct line bearing south of west. Gen. Crook’s present headquarters is one hundred and sixty-five miles from Silver – probably over two hundred traveled routes. On the night of March 23rd, while on a scout towards Harney Lake, the Command was camped on Dunder and Blixen Creek, and in the night the Indians stampeded the stock and succeeded in getting away with most of the animals belonging to Capt. Myers Company, but enough were saved to carry all supplies and property back to Camp. The Indians numbered about thirty, and drove the stock straight up a steep mountain, and there, after a council being held, divided the booty and themselves in parties of three and four and dispersed in different direction. The usual guard was out that night, but the suddenness of the stampede was such that ere the Camp could be aroused the thieves were beating a hasty depurative after the frightened stock. Previous to taking flight, arrow had been shot into the herd, but the silence of the shots made them unobserved. The Boise Camp who have rendered most valuable aid all recognized the situation and rushed forward and saved many head of stock.

This experience has shown that these Indians will make the best guardsmen, as they would readily detect the presence of hostile Indians in the vicinity, and the General has determined using them in that capacity. The Avalanche urged the propriety of making the friendly Indians serviceable over one year ago, but the advice – as all other good suggestions from whatever source fell upon the ears of a Commander whose interests seemed opposed to the public welfare, but the present energetic Commander uses every means within his reach to accomplish the duties assigned him – that is to reduce the savages to a state of peace in this District.

On the edge of common sense

Baxter Black, DVM

Not important ...but possibly of interest

Coon dog namesOne of the hazards of marrying a redneck, an East

Texas, long-suffering wife told me, is the husband’s habit of naming their children coon dog names: Buck, Jake, Sal, Missy, Hoot, Booger, Blue, Red, Blackie, Lady, Bubba, Sweetie, Smokey, Tank, Scooter, Jimbo or Ring. I know people named Cratus, Cretia, Eulafern, Ysidro, Helmut and Orville, but I’ve never heard those names mentioned in hunting dog shows on the Outdoor Channel.

We’re working on a Web site addition, a “Hall of Fame” with pictures of animals named Baxter. It includes many dogs, horses, cats and some steers, but also included are mules, swine, reptiles, ferrets, snakes, fish, birds and one beetle … black, of course! In my case, I’m not sure if having a hamster named after you is a compliment, but naming your first-born after a dearly departed good hunting dog is surely meant to be an honor. “Eat your Gerber’s, Badger, you want to grow up big and strong and be able to drool.”

Naming after animals is an ancient traditional ritual. I had a Chinese virology teacher named Fu Ho Chow and a pharmacology teacher named Dr. Heron. There’s a state in Mexico called Chihuahua, a country called Turkey, a river named Salmon, and of course, states christened Carolina and New Hampshire.

I’ve always been intrigued by the popularity of naming kids after towns in Wyoming: Cody, Douglas, Cheyenne, Kaycee, Sheridan, Jackson, Powell and Laramie. So far they’ve avoided Thermopolis, Chugwater and Baggs, but an unusual name can make a kid unique: Englebert, Dweezil, Pinky, Elvis, Ejulio, Bunny or Babbette. Indians are perhaps the most ardent practitioners of naming after animals: Sitting Bull, Little Squirrel, Roan Horse, Buffalo Bill (sorry), Crow, Elkhorn, Deer Slayer, Eagle Feather, Big Foot.

So, regarding the East Texas lady’s concern about her husband’s choice of coon dog names for kids, it could be worse. She could have married an astronomer who insisted on naming his children after constellations, or a doctor naming his kids after surgical procedures: Mike Kroscope, Lipo Suction and Angieo Plasty.

Or a geologist who chose names from natural formations. “These are my children Alluvial, Tectonic, Strata and our new baby, Hemisphere.”

Or a corn farmer — Hy and StubbieEnough, Enough! Stick with names that are named

after a baseball cap and a ceremony — Bill and Mary.

We clear security at the Boise Airport before I realize I left my coat in the car when our daughter dropped us off. Two weeks in Europe in March just got more interesting.

Our flight from Boise touches down in San Francisco right on time. We have 53 minutes to get from our terminal to the international terminal and clear security for our Frankfurt flight. As we hustle down the concourse, I see a sign for a free bus to the international terminal. We run downstairs and jump on the bus that has just arrived. The driver pulls the bus forward another 25 feet, stops, picks up his newspaper and Thermos, gets off and disappears. After sitting alone on the bus for 10 minutes we run back upstairs, down the concourse to the international terminal, clear security and get to our plane as boarding begins.

A Boeing 747-400 carries 400 passengers. It is 231 feet long, has a wingspan of 211 feet and fully loaded weighs about 200 tons. Our seats are in Row 61 (the last row on the right side). The row is only two seats wide in the back. The good news is we can recline without bothering anyone and easily get up to move around.

By 5:45 p.m., we pass over Idaho Falls on a northeast course. The 200-ton 747 is bouncing all over the sky. On my headphone, I hear other airline pilots in the area reporting considerable “chop.” Chop apparently means bouncing all over the sky.

The air smoothes out as we turn east over Canada and the sun sets. I try to sleep, but I am too excited. For dinner we have a choice of beef brisket or pasta. Now comes the bad news about Row 61. By the time the flight attendants get to us the only choice is pasta. I am a meat person and dislike anything served with tomato sauce. I eat it anyway.

We cross the Atlantic coast north of Goose Bay, Labrador, at about 9:30 p.m. MST. I think I see the Northern Lights

flashing outside, but it turns out to be the plane’s navigation lights reflecting off the clouds.

About 8:30 a.m. Frankfurt time we cross the coast of Europe. The attendants serve breakfast, but by the time they get to Row 61 they are having problems with the heating equipment. About the time we get our food, it is time to put everything away to land.

We make our approach to Frankfurt through heavy clouds and rain. A retired Flying Tiger Airline pilot in the seat across the aisle tells me weather isn’t really a factor as a pilot doesn’t land the 747 — it’s all done by computer. I hope the 747’s computer is more reliable than the server in our office back home.

On the ground at 10 a.m. after nearly 11 hours in the air, the first thing I notice on entering the terminal is the smell of tobacco smoke. You can smoke just about anywhere in the Frankfurt airport. I think about a doctor turned legislator back home, the state’s anti-smoking Nazi, who probably would suffer heart failure on the spot. Maybe a bad choice of words given our location.

We find the rally point for our tour in the airport lobby. We meet our guide, Michael, a diminutive Brit with red hair. We put our bags on the bus and await the arrival of a flight carrying four other members of our family. They were supposed to arrive a half-hour before us, but there were weather problems in Chicago. The last bus to our hotel is scheduled to leave at noon. At 12 o’clock, Michael announces that the plane with our kin has landed but hasn’t found a parking space. Although there is nothing else on the schedule until 2 p.m., he orders the driver to depart, leaving them to find the hotel on their own.

The temperature in Frankfurt seems to be in the high 40s. I wish I had my coat.

European vacation: Departure

by Sen. Larry CraigProperty taxes. Sprawl. Congestion. These are just a few

of the challenges — and complaints — that come with population growth, no matter where you go. While Idaho still possesses a strong rural character, many of our cities and towns are beginning to experience these new challenges.

Economic and population growth are difficult subjects to deal with. People come to Idaho largely for the quality of life. We have low crime rates, clean air, good schools and the twin kickers: scenic beauty and close proximity to world-class recreation opportunities. But many feel that too much growth will spoil it all and negate the good things about Idaho.

If left completely unchecked and unmanaged, growth could do those things. However, if we seek to restrict or stop growth, rather than to shape and direct it, we run the risk of strangling it altogether. Having staked out a piece of Idaho, some might like to close the gate behind themselves, and say “No more newbies!” Such thinking, while understandable, is dangerous to the prosperity of all in our state and puts too much weight on the negative aspects of growth.

In reality, there are quite a lot of positives about the stream of people coming to our state. Many are bringing businesses — small and large — with them and creating

jobs. So many jobs are being created in Idaho that there almost aren’t enough workers to fill them. The state’s current unemployment rate is a miniscule 2.8 percent right now.

A frequent criticism of the jobs being created here is that they’re “service sector” jobs that don’t pay a living wage. That may be true of some jobs, but it’s not the whole story. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported last year that between 2003 and 2005, Idaho’s personal income “increased nearly 16 percent,” ranking us third in the nation for that time.

A surprising fact is that Idaho also ranked third in 2005 in percentage of exports coming from high-tech firms, according to the Idaho Department of Commerce and Labor Web site. Of the top 10 nations buying goods from Idaho last year, seven were in Asia, buying 64 percent of all Idaho goods shipped overseas. Of those exports, 88 percent were high-tech.

In addition to the jobs created, many new restaurants, retail stores and entertainment opportunities have followed our state’s population boom. As Idaho grows, the need to travel across state lines to shop, get Thai food or attend concerts diminishes. That means Idaho dollars are spent in Idaho.

Commentary

√ Growth: Responsible oversight will maintain balance between old, newFrom Page 10Bdistributed, and they don’t come trouble-free. That’s why I have continued to work throughout my time in Congress on behalf of Idaho’s rural communities, so they aren’t left behind as the state’s economic engine takes off.

The Gem State’s growth is just another example of capitalism at work. People and businesses come here

because they like what our state has to offer. Do we throw the doors open and allow our culture and our way of life to be overrun? No. But let me draw a comparison. In the free market, businesses adjust to meet demand and continue attracting new customers. They don’t close the doors and send buyers across the street to a competitor.

Having said that, our communities cannot sacrifice the

needs and concerns of their loyal customers — those who live here — in order to attract new ones. Local governments must remain engaged with the public and maintain open lines of communication about how to grow. It can be done: Idaho can grow and still remain Idaho.

Accuracy In MediaNBC has become the Al-Jazeera of psychotic killers

by Cliff KincaidPhil Rosenthal of the Chicago Tribune notes the strange

decision by NBC to put its NBC News logo and the NBC peacock, “in all its multicolored glory,” on the videos and photos that it released of Virginia Tech mass murderer Cho Seung Hui. This is one strange network that seems to have no moral compass whatsoever. It fires Don Imus, under pressure from the left-wing Media Matters group, Al Sharpton and its own host, Keith Olbermann, when the words, though offensive, didn’t actually hurt anybody in the physical sense. But it then gives a national platform to the hateful words and images of someone who killed 32 people, on the dubious pretext that we need to understand the twisted mind of a demented killer.

Authorities say that NBC’s broadcast of the words and images didn’t add anything to their investigation of the crime. All it did was anger millions of people by taking the media attention away from the victims and possibly inspiring more threats of violence against students and schools across the country. NBC officials had to know that airing the material would increase the danger of more violence, especially during the week of the anniversary of the Columbine massacre at a Colorado high school. Let us hope and pray that more lives of our precious young people will not be lost because of the reckless and irresponsible actions of NBC.

What NBC did was comparable to Al-Jazeera airing al-Qaida and terrorist videos. It is not done so that we can understand the mind of a terrorist. It is done in Al-Jazeera’s case so that the terrorists can intimidate their intended victims and transmit their propaganda. I don’t think NBC wanted more copycat murders to occur as a result of airing the Virginia Tech killer’s materials, but it

had to know that this would be a risk associated with such a decision. It had to know that more death could follow. But it went ahead anyway.

Make no mistake about it. This was done for ratings and profits. And that is why the NBC News logo and NBC peacock were on the materials distributed to other media. NBC wanted “credit” for this trash. The corporate suits thought that people seeing the NBC brand name on the video would come back to NBC for more updates about the story. For no other reason than that it wanted to be associated in the public mind with the killer’s “multimedia manifesto,” as anchor Brian Williams called it, the network plastered its brand name and symbol all over this sick material. Of course, it also sends the message to other potential killers that NBC is their network of choice. NBC has become the Al-Jazeera of mass murderers.

The backlash has started. The reaction to NBC News is being reflected in signs appearing on the Virginia Tech campus that say, “Media Stay Away.” Family members of victims cancelled their appearances on the NBC Today Show because they were very upset with NBC for airing the material. On Friday, a national day of mourning for the victims, NBC News correspondent Kristen Dahlgren acknowledged on MSNBC that Virginia Tech was at first welcoming to the media but that after the airing of the killer’s video tapes, photos and statements, the attitude changed to the point where students and others became “very vocal” against the media and, “They want us to leave at this point.”

On Thursday, during the day, NBC News issued a statement saying, in part, that, “We did not rush the material onto air, but instead consulted with local authorities, who have since publicly acknowledged our appropriate

handling of the matter.” MSNBC anchors went further on the air, saying that authorities had “cleared” NBC’s release of the material. But all of this was a lie. A Virginia State Police official was briefly shown on the NBC Nightly News on Thursday night, in a story by correspondent Pete Williams, saying that NBC should not have aired the material. Williams didn’t explain the contradiction between what NBC had claimed and what the official said. Reporting from the campus, correspondent Mike Taibbi did say, “What many here want is for the media to go home.”

In the Williams story, NBC News president Steve Capus justified the decision to show the material, saying, “I thought we had an obligation” because it would shed light on “what was inside the mind of this killer.”

In fact, Virginia State Police Superintendent Steve Flaherty did more than take issue with what NBC had done. He told reporters that he was “rather disappointed” at the network’s decision to broadcast “these disturbing images” and that, “I’m sorry you were all exposed to these images.” He also said, “We already knew why he did this and seeing these pictures makes a lot of pain that we really don’t need and the families don’t need either.”

So the material doesn’t tell us anything new, it’s very hurtful to the people of the area, and NBC lied about having official approval or clearance to air it.

The public is now asking what was going on in the minds of the corporate suits running NBC News and MSNBC. These executives, led by Capus, ran the risk of more bloodshed for the sake of ratings and profit. They are far worse than Imus, the guy they fired for being offensive.

In the classroomStudents are the real winners after this year’s legislature

by Tom LunaFor the first time in decades, Idaho has a Superintendent

of Public Instruction, Governor and Legislature who are all on the same page, and kids are the real winners.

Look at what we accomplished:• The Legislature and governor approved a $1.37

billion paublic schools budget. That’s 99.6 percent of the money I initially requested, and 99.6 percent of what key stakeholders in the education community said they needed.

We started the budget-setting process immediately after I took office in January by gathering input from a wide range of sources. We only had 23 days to craft a budget and present it to the Legislature.

My office worked with a variety of stakeholders from legislative leadership to the governor to education interest groups. I was pleased to hear positive feedback throughout the entire process. The end result shows what we can do when stakeholders work together to address long-standing issues in education.

• The new public schools budget infuses $20 million into Idaho’s classrooms, where our students need it most. The

Classroom Enhancement Package offers schools additional funds for classroom supplies, textbooks and remediation. In addition, there’s seed money to improve math skills and find solutions to the issues rural schools are facing.

• The budget also includes money to give Idaho teachers a raise. The Legislature approved a 3 percent increase in the base salary that school districts receive every year to pay teacher salaries. In addition to the 3 percent increase, about 40 percent of Idaho’s teachers will get another 3.75 percent raise because of their years in the classroom. With the increase in the base salary, those teachers could receive a 6.75 percent pay raise next year. Now, that’s progress.

Although Idaho’s classrooms and teachers will enjoy additional funding, there still is more to do. While we provide assistance for students who struggle through remediation, we also need to provide more opportunities for students who excel. I fought this year, and will continue to fight in the coming years, to make it easier and less expensive for Idaho’s juniors and seniors to take concurrent college credit courses while they are still in high school.

We must expand concurrent college credit course offerings in Idaho to give Idaho’s children the same

opportunities that students in other states already enjoy.Additionally, we must expand our community college

offerings so that more high school students will be able to take advantage of university-level courses before they graduate. A community college not only opens up opportunities for lifelong learners who want to head back to school to learn a new trade or sharpen their skills, but it also can help high school students get a head start on their college career.

The State Board of Education, of which I am a member, unanimously approved a petition with more than 3,200 signatures on it to allow Ada and Canyon county voters the opportunity to start a two-year college in the Treasure Valley.

It was a great session overall, and students were the big winners. Thank you to the governor, lawmakers and education officials who met with me throughout the first three months of the year. I look forward to working with you in the coming months as we implement the new budget and continue to make Idaho’s education system the best.

Our children deserve no less.— Tom Luna, a Republican, is the Idaho State

Superintendent of Public Instruction.

GVLL spruces up fieldThe Grand View Little League

conducted its annual workday Saturday at its baseball field.

Players, coaches and league officers cleaned up the field, installed metal on the dugouts and put a fresh coat of paint on benches. The long-needed roofing was supplied through a grant from US Ecology.

Grand View has three teams playing in the Mountain Home/Glenns Ferry League — the Raiders at the Rookie level, the Coyotes at the Minor level and the Red Devils at the Major level.

The Classy Drywall Raiders are coached by Danny Martinez and Bobby Williams.

The Commercial Tire Coyotes are coached by Melinda Draper and Sarah Hall. D&A Glass sponsors the Red Devils, who are coached by Mark Driskell, Chris Collette and Dale Gray.

Between the three teams there will be a baseball game at the Grand View field nearly every weeknight until May 22.

Grand View Little League still is searching for a coach for its 13- to 15-year-old team.

Trotting out a clever slogan, Homedale High School athletic director David Hart announced that the Trojans’ football program will hold a fund-raising golf tournament in June.

“You may out-hit us on the golf green, but no one out-hits us on our green!” proclaims a flier circulated by Hart and detailing the nine-hole scramble at River Bend Golf Course in Wilder.

The tournament starts at 6 p.m. June 1.

The entry fee is $160 per four-person team, or $40 per person. The registration price includes green fees, a cart, dinner and door prizes.

Dinner will be served after the tournament, at which time there also will be a social hour and door prize drawings.

For information, contact Hart at the school, 337-4613, on his cell phone, 340-8125, or by e-mail at dhart@homedaleschools.org.
